An epic adventure in a life-long pursuit of the truth.
What is the mystery that Lance Cutter’s DNA is hiding? Whatever the secret is, they had it, they lost it, and now they will do anything to get it back...
Time is running out.
Lance Cutter is born out of a horrific experiment by a deranged scientist. Presumed dead in an explosion at birth, Lance and his mother create a quiet, normal life. But what is normal for others is not so for Lance. He is faster, smarter and more agile than other children. When Lance and his mother go to Washington seeking answers, they are greeted by deadly force.
Barely escaping the clutches of government agents, the plane they are traveling on crashes into the icy Potomac river. Thought dead for the second time in his life, Lance grows up and finds a quiet, secluded existence working as an arson investigator in Florida. But when innocent people begin to spontaneously combust, Lance must use all of his extraordinary talents to stop the deranged killer.
Cutter now finds himself front page news. It’s these headlines that will finally bring him face to face with the truth about his birthright and put him in a life and death struggle to survive.

If you like your science fiction to come with a crime drama plus a little genetic research, and a lot of spontaneously combusting pets, then Mr. Sandman, is totally the right book for you.This novel is about Lance Cutter. Born from a biological experiment, neither he nor his mother were meant to live. But they did live, until a tragic plane crash later in his life.
This novel reads like it is 2 separate stories, in 3 parts. The 1st 3rd parts would be about the genetic creation and government hunt for Lance Cutter.
The 2nd part is the meatiest part (and in my opinion the best part of the novel) in which Cutter is an arson investigator who is investigating the very unlikely incidents happening in which pets, and the people holding them, are spontaneously combating all over the place!
Other than when it comes in handy for him to see in the dark, the genetically altered part of Lance Cutter plays no part in the main plot of this story, but I was very much drawn into it.
Then the crime is solved, the bad guy is captured, and part 3 of the story starts. After all these years of being thought dead, the government finds Lance Cutter over one article in a newspaper once he solved his *exploding poodle problem.
In the 3rd act another player is introduced which took a turn I really didn't see coming. I would have loved to have seen that character introduced earlier, and to somehow be woven more into Cutter's adult life all along, instead of just poofing in during the climax.
I can only rate this 4 stars though. While I found the stories entertaining, the overuse of simile in the writing made the story itself almost laughable occasionally. I also feel like the 3 parts could have been much better tied together somehow. How did Cutter and his mother survive and escape the aftermath of his birthday explosion? If his mother knew enough to run and hide after his birth, why would she have gone back to the government looking for help to begin with? If the government knew so much about his special abilities why would they ever have considered him dead? They would have kept looking forever, or until they found a body, whatever came firs. Questions like those kept me from giving it better marks.
*There were no actual exploding poodles in the book...I made that part up.

Mr Sandman A Thrilling Novel edition by Lyle Howard Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
This has to be one of the most unique novels I have ever read. Where else can you read about government conspiracies and serial killers all in one book? Mr. Sandman of course.
This is a fast paced novel that spans almost 30 years and interjects two historical backdrops for setting. The first is the backdrop is the crash of Florida Air flight 90 that crashed into the icy Potomac River in 1982. The other is the infamous Hurricane Andrew which devastated south Florida in 1992.
This story revolves around a government experiment in which no survivors were intended. But when Lance Cutter and his mother survive, they go on the run.
Years later, Cutter emerges as an arson investigator in Broward County, Florida. A seemingly bizarre string of fiery deaths by what appears to be at first spontaneous combustion are not what they seem.
Cutter suspects that someone is creating a series of hot fires with intended human targets and he sets out to solve the mystery before other victims emerge. A game of cat and mouse emerges as Cutter utilizes his extraordinary gifts of supreme physical and mental prowess that he does not fully understand.
But as Cutter closes in on his killer, he finds himself once again prey as government agents close in on him for a final confrontation during a catastrophic hurricane in which there will be only one survivor.
The premise for this novel is unique and reminds of a good police procedural mixed with a Marvel Comics superhero atmosphere of which good and evil collide for supremacy. I have never quite read a novel like this before, but I thoroughly enjoyed it more than many of the books I have read in the recent past.
I admit had a little trouble getting started with this book. Luckily, I sat down during the day and swore I'd read a chapter or two...and then I was hooked. I ended up enjoying the book, although it's got a very different set up. I feel like it starts Plot A, then completely drops it for Plot B, meaning while you occasionally get a short random one-paragraph length chapter that you have no idea where it came from. I actually questions if the e-book was messed up and a section of a different book ended up in the middle of mine! Once Plot B is finished, then we return to Plot A. By the end of the book, it does all tie together, but I still feel like you had 2 different plots going on and the author could have made 2 very good books from this one book. Am I complaining? No, I liked the book, and was always wanting to know what happened next. The main character, Lance Cutter, is the result of a lab experiment gone wrong. With very few answers, he tries to lead a quite life under the radar of the government officials who think he is dead. Unfortunately, after a difficult case, a heroic act goes public and all that changes. I did finish this in a weekend but I do feel like it's a fairly long book. Overall, if the opportunity arose to read another Lyle Howard book, I would definitely do it!
